Chapter 43: The Last Shot
(Girls' Literature)
Shaochen drank cup after cup, everyone said that men don't flick when they have tears, it's just not to the sad place, thinking of the catastrophe that Xinfu is about to face, thinking that although he is married, he has not been able to get the blessing of his family, grandpa refuses to admit Weiyue to this day, after the wedding banquet yesterday, what Mrs. Lin said is still echoing in his ears, the Huo family should indeed give Weiyue the title of a real daughter-in-law.
Usually he is pressed to the bottom of his heart, and he copes with good words on all sides, but now one thing after another comes to his heart, he really feels a little tired, just for love, for his own responsibility, he has to grit his teeth and hold on quietly, today, there is finally a chance, in a place where no familiar person sees, he can indulge his emotions, he promises, after returning home, he is still a gentle and considerate good husband, all the pain and tiredness, he will bury himself in the bottom of his heart, so that his beloved will not have the slightest worryγ
"Shaochen, why are you drinking here alone? I was just married yesterday, and I won't be home today?" a sexy young female voice sounded in his ears.
He looked at it in amazement and was shocked, "Lijia, why are you here?"
Tang Lijia smiled, "It's strange, why can't I be here, but you, on the second night of the wedding party, you went to a bar alone to drink, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel abnormal." β
"Alas, my wife and mother-in-law went shopping, and there was no one at home, so I was depressed, so I came here to relieve my worries. Shaochen said lightly.
"The depression is because of the redemption of the investment, right?" said Tang Lijia unhurriedly. Just now on the Weibo platform, it has been rumored that Kong Iron and Steel wants to redeem Xinfu Investment, and she finally understands the reason why the three of them are not right this afternoon.
"Yes, those reporters are too powerful now, and the matter that was decided in the afternoon has already been reported on the Weibo platform of Finance today. Shaochen said helplessly, the speed of message delivery is faster than he expected, in this era of the Internet, the network is a double-edged sword, can be used for you, or you can die.
"This news is going to come out sooner or later, you should think of a way now, the Kong family is gone, but don't you also have an uncle of a banker? Let him help, add some investment, this matter should be able to get through." Tang Lijia said tentatively.
Since she heard that Huo Shaochen was going to hold a final marriage ceremony with Weiyue, she felt that she had completely lost, after work, without any spiritual sustenance, she could only come to the bar to drink to kill her sorrows, only in the paralysis of alcohol, she would feel that her heart was not so empty and lonely.
It's just that she never expected that she would be able to meet him here tonight, she felt that this was the last chance given to her by God, and secretly made up her mind to give it a go, she wanted to make one last effort, although this time, she might lose everything, but the gambler who had already lost red was impossible to let go of the last chance.
Of course, Huo Shaochen would not have thought that his ex-girlfriend in front of him would have so many ideas, after he announced the news that he was going to officially marry Weiyue, he felt that she had completely let go, except for things at work, he would never say a word more, it seemed that he was deliberately avoiding something, and his own work was generally handled by himself, and he was not called to him, and now she assisted Kong Lei and Shao Gang in their work more, Shao Gang was so happy that he couldn't keep his mouth shut for this, Shaochen was already prepared, and transferred her to Shao Gang's office, Shao Gang was interesting to her, it should be a matter of one or two days, if the two can really be together, it can be regarded as a wish of his ownγ
For Tang Lijia's question, he just said truthfully, "It is difficult for my uncle President Zhang to give me any more support in terms of funds, at the beginning of the establishment of Xinfu, because of the ban by the Huo family, the board of directors unanimously opposed the loan to Xinfu, and in the end, he gave me 100 million support in his own private name, and now he can only embarrass him, and there can be no more results." β
"How do you know if you don't try, or the other directors in the bank have changed their views on Xinfu Investment after observing it in the past few days, in the long run, as long as we get through this, with the company's personnel and strength, they will definitely not have any losses, but can make a lot of money on us. Tang Lijia still said unhurriedly.
Shaochen shook his head and said, "Impossible, in the past, when the company was first established, it was just the beginning of the A-share bull market, they still have reservations about us, now is the relay stage of the stock market crash, where is the bottom, it can be said that no one knows, and now to invest money in our company, the risk is already greater than before, so now I hope that the bank will help us, even if I am the president, I can't agree." β
Shaochen's words are conclusive, President Zhang's road seems to be really impossible, of course, Xinfu's three biggest investments in addition to President Zhang, Kong Zhijun, and one is Lin Zhengnan, but now in this environment, the general listed companies are at their own risk, and they can stick to it, unlike the Kong family, it is already thankful that they need to redeem their investments in advance, and to make additional investment, this is undoubtedly a fool's dream, and another reason is that with Shaochen, Tang Lijia doesn't want to mention anyone and anything about Lin Weiyueγ
"So what are you going to do now? Do you think those retail investors can have confidence in us and insist on waiting for the return on investment?" Tang Lijia asked worriedly.
Huo Shaochen was still shaking his head, "Retail investors are all herd effect, and the redemption of the Kong family will definitely hit their confidence greatly, and a powerful wave of redemption will come tomorrow." β
"Then have you thought of countermeasures?" Tang Lijia asked tremblingly, but after asking, she regretted it a little, knowing him for so many years, it was the first time that she saw his face full of helplessness and sadness.
Sure enough, Huo Shaochen drank all the wine in his hand, and then said lightly, "No, it should be said that I can't think of it, after tomorrow, it may be the day when Xinfu begins to prepare for liquidation and bankruptcy." β
"Liquidation and bankruptcy, so serious!" Tang Lijia couldn't help but exclaim, provoking the people next to her to look at this side, Shaochen hurriedly waved his hand to apologize.
"Don't make such a fuss, the most important thing in our business is integrity, the contract states that the investment can be redeemed at any time, but there is no interest and other income, we have to act in accordance with the contract. Shaochen said slowly.
"It's just that we don't have enough cash in our hands now, the Kong family will come to get the check tomorrow, and they will have to take away 80 million, and the remaining 20 million funds, if it is a retail investor who wants to redeem it, we may not be able to deal with it." Tang Lijia has been in charge of statistical analysis in the company, and all the reports in the company are basically from her, so for the situation of Xinfu, except for Shaochen and the three of them, she probably knows best.
"It's because once there is a redemption wave, we don't have enough cash on hand, so we have to sell the stocks in our hands to get back the funds. Huo Shaochen said helplessly.
"It's just that now, the company's stocks are still in a state of loss, selling high and buying low every day, which can only reduce its costs and reduce losses, but the stock market crash of A shares has not bottomed out for a day, and it is difficult for us to turn losses into profits.
"Even if it is sprinkled on the floor, there is no way to do it, because we have no money to turn around and cope with the wave of retail investors who are redeeming. And in case we sell all the shares and it is not enough to repay the investor's investment, we may also need to file for bankruptcy to protect the interests of the investor. β
Tang Lijia looked at him in disbelief, "Once we apply for bankruptcy liquidation, we don't have no chance to turn over, Xinfu is your hard work this year, are you willing to do it?"
"I can't bear to do anything, the business is like this, there are winners and naturally there are losers, this time we encountered such a serious A-share stock crash, it can only be regarded as our luck is too back, if we happen to encounter such a catastrophic decline in the market, we should not lose so badly. Shaochen said bitterly.
In fact, to this point today, in the final analysis, he is also responsible, if he was not in a hurry to go to the UK to find Weiyue, has been staring at the company in the company, there will not be a tragic situation at the beginning of the stock market crash The company was in a full position decline, although he came back to turn the tide, so that the company could take a little respite, and the early redemption of the Kong family is like a patient who has just been rescued and is still maintaining life with an oxygen mask at a critical moment, the oxygen mask was taken away and left to fend for himself. So this time, the future of Xinfu can only depend on the will of God, and if you can get through it, you can really only wait for a miracle to happen.
At this time, Tang Lijia also lowered her head silently, although Shao Gang and Kong Lei have never blamed her, but when she was tending to Shaochen to leave and go to the UK, she put forward the idea of filling the warehouse, and it was precisely because of that full warehouse that Xinfu Investment was pushed to the brink of life and death.
One of her jade hands gently placed it on Shaochen's arm, and said softly: "Shaochen, I'm sorry, after you went to the UK that day, I actually proposed to let the company hold all shares, but I didn't expect that the consequences would be so serious." β
Looking at the way the tears in her eyes were about to fall, even if there was a big grievance, as a gentlemanly man, it was not good to blame her at this time, not to mention this, he had already guessed it.
I saw his eyes staring straight ahead, and said lightly, "It's all in the past, you are just an assistant, and the final decision has always been in the hands of me and Lei Zigangzi, and this matter is all caused by my dereliction of duty in the final analysis." β
Tang Lijia still lowered her head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I've always wanted to help you, I hope Xinfu can have better development, but I didn't expect it to hurt Xinfu and you." As he spoke, his hand was always on Shaochen's arm, and he looked at the backs of the two from a distance, as if they were snuggling together.
It's just that Huo Shaochen, who was upset, didn't have the heart to notice these details, but he just felt a little anxious, said sorry, and got up and went to the bathroom.
Watching Shaochen leave, Tang Lijia immediately beckoned the bartender to come, and then the glass he left with only half a glass of wine left just now said, "Immediately replace this cocktail with '*** fan'." β
The bartender looked at her a little embarrassed, Tang Lijia immediately took out two hundred-yuan bills from her wallet and handed them over, "Your tip, give it to me immediately." β
The bartender took the money, smiled lightly, and did as Tang Lijia said, in the bar, this is not the first time he has done this kind of thing, but in the past, it was the man who asked to change the woman's wine, but he didn't expect that there was a fresh one today, and it was the woman who wanted to change the wine in the man's hand.
As for what is called "*** fan", there is no need to go into details, but the bartender immediately understood that this man is the famous young master of the Huo family in Binhai City, and he is generally eager to change his name, and if he changes wine or something, it is simply pediatrics, and the more powerful one should be still to come.
